Pefect Basecamp for A Mountain Visit
It is on older motel, but it is in good shape. The rooms have recently been remodeled and are clean. The staff is helpful and friendly. It's the perfect basecamp for a trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Overall, I liked the property and its location to what I wanted to see and do. As with all the hotels in the area, the rates were to high but was better then others. Wasn't a fan that there is a CBD shop right next to the property.

I'm probably not the person to review this motel because we only used it as a place to sleep. It is a motel with all rooms opening to the outdoors. I would describe the lobby as cozy without a fireplace. The staff was great checking in and out. Our room was clean and offered everything we needed however it's not fancy, flashy, or modern. Our room was on the first floor right next to the parking lot which can be noisy from traffic, parking, and people above. If you stay, I would ask for a room deeper in the complex away from the roads. You also should bring your own pillow.
